Big Thief – Capacity (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Adrianne Lenker wrote much of Capacity while processing deeply personal experiences, and that rawness translates directly into the performances. Recorded with producer Sean Carey, the album sits in close conversation with their debut Masterpiece but pushes further into Lenker's singular songwriting voice, one rooted in folk and country traditions while resisting easy categorization.
The trails that Brooklyn's Big Thief - Adrianne Lenker (guitar, vocals), Buck Meek (guitar), Max Oleartchik (bass), and James Krivchenia (drums) - take us down on 2017's Capacity, the band's highly critically acclaimed sophomore album, are overgrown with the wilderness of pumping souls. The album is thick with raw, un-doctored beauty: most of the songs on Capacity were played for the rest time in the studio and were recorded the same day. "There is a darker darkness and a lighter light on this album," Lenker explains. "The songs search for a deeper level of self- acceptance, to embrace the world within and without. I think Masterpiece began that process, as a reaction from inside the pain, whereas I feel Capacity examines the pain from the outside."
